1 A wise|strong="H2450" son|strong="H1121" heareth his father’s|strong="H0001" instruction|strong="H4148": but a scorner|strong="H3887" heareth|strong="H8085" not rebuke|strong="H1606".
2 A man|strong="H0376" shall eat|strong="H0398" good|strong="H2896" by the fruit|strong="H6529" of his mouth|strong="H6310": but the soul|strong="H5315" of the transgressors|strong="H0898" shall eat violence|strong="H2555".
3 He that keepeth|strong="H5341" his mouth|strong="H6310" keepeth|strong="H8104" his life|strong="H5315": but he that openeth wide|strong="H6589" his lips|strong="H8193" shall have destruction|strong="H4288".
4 The soul|strong="H5315" of the sluggard|strong="H6102" desireth|strong="H0183", and hath nothing: but the soul|strong="H5315" of the diligent|strong="H2742" shall be made fat|strong="H1878".
5 A righteous|strong="H6662" man hateth|strong="H8130" lying|strong="H1697": but a wicked|strong="H7563" man is loathsome|strong="H0887", and cometh to shame|strong="H2659".
6 Righteousness|strong="H6666" keepeth|strong="H5341" him that is upright|strong="H8537" in the way|strong="H1870": but wickedness|strong="H7564" overthroweth|strong="H5557" the sinner|strong="H2403".
7 There is|strong="H3426" that maketh himself rich|strong="H6238", yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor|strong="H7326", yet|strong="H3605" hath great|strong="H7227" riches|strong="H1952".
8 The ransom|strong="H3724" of a man’s|strong="H0376" life|strong="H5315" are his riches|strong="H6239": but the poor|strong="H7326" heareth|strong="H8085" not rebuke|strong="H1606".
9 The light|strong="H0216" of the righteous|strong="H6662" rejoiceth|strong="H8055": but the lamp|strong="H5216" of the wicked|strong="H7563" shall be put out|strong="H1846".
10 Only by pride|strong="H2087" cometh|strong="H5414" contention|strong="H4683": but with the well advised|strong="H3289" is wisdom|strong="H2451".
11 Wealth|strong="H1952" gotten by vanity|strong="H1892" shall be diminished|strong="H4591": but he that gathereth|strong="H6908" by labour|strong="H3027" shall increase|strong="H7235".
12 Hope|strong="H8431" deferred|strong="H4900" maketh the heart|strong="H3820" sick|strong="H2470": but when the desire|strong="H8378" cometh|strong="H0935", it is a tree|strong="H6086" of life|strong="H2416".
13 Whoso despiseth|strong="H0936" the word|strong="H1697" shall be destroyed|strong="H2254": but he that feareth|strong="H3373" the commandment|strong="H4687" shall be rewarded|strong="H7999".
14 The law|strong="H8451" of the wise|strong="H2450" is a fountain|strong="H4726" of life|strong="H2416", to depart|strong="H5493" from the snares|strong="H4170" of death|strong="H4194".
15 Good|strong="H2896" understanding|strong="H7922" giveth|strong="H5414" favour|strong="H2580": but the way|strong="H1870" of transgressors|strong="H0898" is hard|strong="H0386".
16 Every prudent|strong="H6175" man dealeth|strong="H6213" with knowledge|strong="H1847": but a fool|strong="H3684" layeth open|strong="H6566" his folly|strong="H0200".
17 A wicked|strong="H7563" messenger|strong="H4397" falleth|strong="H5307" into mischief|strong="H7451": but a faithful|strong="H0529" ambassador|strong="H6735" is health|strong="H4832".
18 Poverty|strong="H7389" and shame|strong="H7036" shall be to him that refuseth|strong="H6544" instruction|strong="H4148": but he that regardeth|strong="H8104" reproof|strong="H8433" shall be honoured|strong="H3513".
19 The desire|strong="H8378" accomplished|strong="H1961" is sweet|strong="H6149" to the soul|strong="H5315": but it is abomination|strong="H8441" to fools|strong="H3684" to depart|strong="H5493" from evil|strong="H7451".
20 He that walketh|strong="H1980" with wise|strong="H2450" men shall be wise|strong="H2449": but a companion|strong="H7462" of fools|strong="H3684" shall be destroyed|strong="H7321".
21 Evil|strong="H7451" pursueth|strong="H7291" sinners|strong="H2400": but to the righteous|strong="H6662" good|strong="H2896" shall be repayed|strong="H7999".
22 A good|strong="H2896" man leaveth an inheritance|strong="H5157" to his children’s|strong="H1121" children|strong="H1121": and the wealth|strong="H2428" of the sinner|strong="H2398" is laid up|strong="H6845" for the just|strong="H6662".
23 Much|strong="H7230" food|strong="H0400" is in the tillage|strong="H5215" of the poor|strong="H7218": but there is|strong="H3426" that is destroyed|strong="H5595" for want|strong="H3808" of judgment|strong="H4941".
24 He that spareth|strong="H2820" his rod|strong="H7626" hateth|strong="H8130" his son|strong="H1121": but he that loveth|strong="H0157" him chasteneth|strong="H4148" him betimes|strong="H7836".
25 The righteous|strong="H6662" eateth|strong="H0398" to the satisfying|strong="H7648" of his soul|strong="H5315": but the belly|strong="H0990" of the wicked|strong="H7563" shall want|strong="H2637".
